The Weathervane Inn

Not bad Don't expect to check in before 3pm, even if you request an early check in. The room was nice but our jacuzzi tub didn't work. They did credit us $25 for the broken tub. The bed was comfortable. The hotel was a little noisy and the continental breakfast was just ok. The friendliness of the staff was mixed. The tv service was streaming only.

Run down and disgusting This place is dirty and disgusting. There was a stale urine smell in our room that was overhwelming. The bed sagged in the middle and the linens were old and worn. There were rips in the carpet and a huge carpet stain in our room. There were spider webs and dust balls in the ceiling corners. We used to stay here often and used to like it - but it has become dirty and run down, there are stains all over the hallway carpet, the front desk staff is horribly rude, the coffee maker was broken in the lobby so no coffee for breakfast. We booked a corner Lakeview room and we did not get a corner Lakeview room, we got a highway view room and they refused to change our room. It was overall a horribly disappointing experience which is really too bad because we enjoy visiting the area and used to enjoy staying here. We won't stay here again nor will we recommend it.

Nice Hotel on the Hatbor Beautiful setting on White Lake close to Lake Michigan. The hotel rooms are really spacious and immaculate. Almost all had jacuzzi tubs. Ours had a fireplace, too, as do many of the rooms. The rooms facing the harbor have balconies. The front desk people were very helpful and friendly. They answered any concerns we may have had. The breakfast was a variety of continental items and a pancake machine. There is a small coffee shop right outside the facility. Would definitely recommend this hotel

July 9th 2024 Got to the hotel around 3pm to check in Went inside while my wife was in the car with the furbabies (2 older special needs black cats) Started to check in at the front desk(general manager Nick was the one checking me in, no other staff were around only the general manager) Was given a brief summary of the hotel amenities and the surrounding area(new to the area, first time visiting) Mentioned we had made a lil over 3hr drive to get to the hotel Than was asked if any pets were brought with us After saying yes, 2 animals Manager assumed it was 2 dogs Told the manager we had 2 cats Was immediately given some petty looks and comments(we are a dog friendly only hotel, we don’t allow cats because it can be more annoying with cleaning and the allergies people can have with cats, etc.) Told the manager I wasn’t aware that it was a “dog friendly only” hotel As I had booked through booking.com On the app it said pet friendly nvr “dog friendly only” Which the manager replied with a snarky comment that on the website it clearly states “dog friendly” However due to us driving over 3hrs, the general manager had offered an accommodation of an extra fee to allow the cats to stay($50 per night instead of the roughly 20/30ish for dogs) Excused myself to go outside and talk about the situation with my wife Decided to go with paying the extra since we had already drove such a long distance and wanted to just get checked in and put our belongings and cats in the hotel room and figure out what to do about food. Went inside to pay the full price with adding the additional fees Card was declined multiple times Noticed an authorization fee had pulled from my checking account but not the full price I was supposed to pay Told the manager that on my bank app I just noticed an authorization fee pending Manager went on to say he hadn’t received any money yet or even processed the full price for the room Went back and forth trying to explain that I have an authorization fee pending and even showed the manager discreetly in a way without the manager able to see anything else but the pending fee But was told again and again that he didn’t receive the money yet and there was nothing wrong on his end and that I clearly didn’t understand what was happening and that I was in the wrong(started getting a nasty attitude towards me) Briefly mentioned wanting a refund and to cancel the reservation because obviously something was wrong Even stating do I need to take you to court(after he began refusing to give me a refund as he apparently didn’t receive any money yet) Than very quickly cancelled my reservation and denied giving me a refund And began to tell me to call the police if I want, that he doesn’t care, and than basically kicked me out and told me to have a great day Leaving me over 3hrs away from home, with no way to get another hotel for the night. A very upset and hangry wife, as well as 2 older special needs black cats.. I don’t believe I need to say anything else.. will never be coming back to that hotel.. and I can’t believe that the general manager who should be acting professionally and treating any customers with respect would go so low like that on someone
